Let me tell you all about how I installed Instagram to promote my novel during the Philippine Book Festival 2025 and how I quickly descended back into scrolling hell like it was yesterday. Sneaky motherfucker! Well, that was the long and short of it. I still need to schedule maybe…
Leave a commentIt’s Wednesday and I haven’t written for 5 days because I’m terrified of how to start the second scene of the novella I’m overhauling. But yeah, through some self-trickery and grit I managed to squeeze some blood from a stone, 287 words in 30 minutes, in the only writing session…
Leave a commentWe’ll just write about it. Mondays are historically stressful, and I feel like my body has some hardwired resistance at having to be on for work, or for anything outside its own desires. Today’s big R resistance was so large, both for writing and working, that I let my period…
Leave a commentI woke up later than desired today, but I’m still reeling from the monthly blood bath so I say it doesn’t count. I made myself a sandwich I’ve been timing to make in the shortest amount of time. I’ve been fixated on it for two weeks now. [Skip to the…

Leave a commentI got all the achievements in Baldur’s Gate 3, some not so honourably (thanks, No Party Limit mod), but I needed to push it to the max to get a semblance of completion so I can say I’m more or less done with it. I’ll write about the experience at…
Leave a commentHello, fellow readers! My first speculative fiction short story Metro Tarak Organ Scouts is out now at Washington Square Review. This story is very hustlers be hustling in a future Philippines where selling organs is where it’s at. You’ll meet Kap, who will do anything to achieve “the good life”…
2 commentsStory-wise, at least.
